In the final years of the Ming Dynasty, the realm was shattered, industries lay in ruin, bandits rose everywhere, foreign forces invaded, and the people were driven from their homes, even forced to exchange children to eat.
A middle-aged modern man transmigrated to the late Ming and obtained a wristwatch that could travel through time and space. He used its powers to become a cross-era trader.
As he amassed immense wealth, he never forgot his original purpose. He used modern resources to support the Ming, gathered refugees and built them homes, and raised an army to repel foreign invaders and quell domestic unrest, bringing about a Ming revival.
